"And YaHuWaH said to mosheh , 'I am that which I am. [ehyeh

asher ehyeh]' and he said, 'so you will say to the sons of Y’isra’EL,

"I am [ehyeh] has sent me to you." 'and YaHuWaH said further to

mosheh, 'now you are to say to the sons of Y’isra’EL, "YHWH,

elohey of your fathers Abraham, Yitzchak [Isaac], and Yaa’qob

[Jacob], has sent me to you. this is my name forever, and this is

my memorial for generation to generation." ' "Shemoth 6:3," 'and I

appeared to Abraham, to Yitzchak, and to Yaa’qob as hashadday

[the almighty]. and my name, YaHuWaH, was not well known

(famous) to them.

YaHuWaH, ELohey Tsebaoth, is his name.

Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that YaHuWaH

IS Aluahiym in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there

IS NONE ELSE !.

How do we understand the word immersion

Don’t we all have one father? Hasn’t one Aluahiym created us?

Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother,

profaning the covenant of our fathers?

Immersion is not a ritual in invented by " Yahuwchanan the

immerse” as most of churchanity believes. It is not supposed to

Page 4: Immersion

be a method by which ones becomes a "new member" into a

particular church or organization - at least it was not meant to

be.

Immersion is an act of putting off the "old man" and turning ones

heart toward YaHuWaH in worship and praise and obedience

to His Torah!

Yahuwchanan 14:15

If you love Me, keep My Commandments.

Galatians 3:27-29.

And all who have immersed in haMashiyach have put on

haMashiyach. There is no longer Yahuwdite or gentile, slave or

free, male or female. For you are all Nastarims--you are one in

haMashiyach YaHuWSHuWaH. And now that you belong to

haMashiyach, you are the true children of Abraham. You are His

heirs, and now all the promises YaHuWaH gave to him belong to

you

For as many of you as were immersed into haMashiyach have

put on (labash) haMashiyach. There is neither Yahuwdite nor

Greek, there is not slave nor free, there is not male and female,

for you are all one in haMashiyach YaHuWSHuWaH. And if you

are of haMashiyach, then you are seed of Abraham and heirs

according to promise. (This Ibriy term "labash" is the same one

that is use in

Bereshityh 3:21:

YaHuWaH Aluahiym made coats of skins for Adam and for his

wife, and clothed them.

(This implies that YaHuWaH performed the very first slaughter in

the presence of Adam and Hawah. To typify the necessity to shed

Page 5: Immersion

blood for the sin of disobedience and to "cover" [labash - H-3847]

ones nakedness.)

WaYiqra 1:6

He shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces

He shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces. ….

WaYiqra 7:8

The priest who offers any man’s burnt offering, even the priest

shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has

offered.

Fig leaves were the worst thing to wear, because they secrete

juices that are strong enough to eat holes in the skin if left there

long enough! Skin: possibly of an animal that He slaughtered so

its blood could provide temporary atonement or simply skin as we

now know it: what formerly ran through their veins was more like

light, and their bodies held a glow which was now missing. Blood

as we now know it, which carries the soul in it, is the corrupted

form of this light which bore Aluahiym's image in a much fuller

way. The words for "light" and "skin" sound the same in Hebrew

(owr), though they have a different spelling. So we could say their

lack of "’owr" was covered up with "owr". The word used in

Aramaic also means “chaff”—that which covers the edible part of

the wheat. Now the fact that we were ever in YaHuWaH’s

presence is hidden (as Moshah’s face shone after having been in

YaHuWaH's presence

Ex. 34:30ff;

When Aharon and all the children of YSCHaREL saw Moshah,

behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come

Page 6: Immersion

near him. Moshah called to them, and Aharon and all the rulers

of the congregation returned to him; and Moshah spoke to them.

Afterward all the children of YSCHaREL came near and he gave

them all of the commandments that YaHuWaH had spoken with

him on Mount Choreb. When Moshah was done speaking with

them, he put a veil on his face. But when Moshah went in before

YaHuWaH to speak with Him, he took the veil off, until he came

out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of YSCHaREL

that which he was commanded. The children of YSCHaREL saw

Moshah’ face, that the skin of Moshah’ face shone: and Moshah

put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.

2 Cor. 3:7ff.)

But if the administration of death in letters, engraved on stones,

was esteemed so much that the children of YSCHaREL could not

bear to look at Moshah's face. For his face shone with the esteem

of YaHuWaH, even though the brightness was already fading

away. Shouldn't we expect far greater esteem when the the

Ruwach haQadosh is giving life? If the old covenant, which

brings condemnation, was splendorous , how much more

splendorous is the Renewed Covenant, which makes us right with

YaHuWaH! In fact, that first esteem was not splendorous at all

compared with the overwhelming esteem of the Renewed

Covenant. So if the Ancient Covenant, which has been set aside,

was full of esteem, then the Renewed Covenant, which remains

forever, has far greater esteem. Since this Renewed Covenant

gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. We are not like

Moshah, who put a veil over his face so the people of YSCHaREL

would not see the esteem fading away. But the people's minds

were hardened, and even to this day whenever the Ancient

Covenant is being read, a veil covers their minds so they cannot

Page 7: Immersion

understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by

believing in haMashiyach. Yes, even today when they read

Moshah's writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and

they do not understand. But whenever anyone turns to the

Master YaHuWaH, then the veil is taken away. Now, Master

YaHuWaH, Himself, Is the Ruwach haQadosh, and wherever the

Ruwach haQadosh of Master YaHuWaH is, It gives freedom. And

all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be mirrors

that brightly reflect the esteem of Master YaHuWaH. And as the

Ruwach haQadosh, Master YaHuWaH works in us, and we

become more and more like Him and reflect His esteem even

more.

Guilt needs to be covered, but this creates a useless layer

between ourselves and Him. Adam could have offered to hunt

down and destroy the serpent or do whatever he needed to do to

demonstrate repentance, but instead he just decided to suffer

whatever he needed to instead of actually repenting, so his light

was diminished by this extra layer. YaHuWSHuWaH did not try to

find a way around his suffering once he knew there was none. He

had no “chaff” obscuring his connection to the Father, so he

could be the “light of the world”. We can be, too, if we are after

obedience no matter what. Removing this chaff, we can again be

“naked and not ashamed”. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan says

YaHuWaH clothed them with the skin that the serpent had cast

off. In fact, the high priest’s breastplate does bear a strong

resemblance to what this creature had looked like in Eden.

Compare

Y’hezq’el 28:13

You were in Eden, the garden of Aluahiym; every precious stone

adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper,

sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. The workmanship of your

percussion instruments and your socket-cavities were right

within yourself; on the day that you were created they were

securely fastened and made ready.

Page 8: Immersion

In Eden: This tips us off to the fact that we are dealing with

something much more ancient than literal Tsor alone—a spirit

that inhabited and motivated it, but which existed long

beforehand. Socket-cavities: i.e., receptacles in which to mount

the precious stones or musical instruments, but the same term is

used as the root for the word “female” in Hebrew. This gives us a

clue about the role the antitype of this king played, especially as

relates to the Phoenicians, from which Izebel came. Izebel insisted

that her husband Ahab, could do anything he pleased since he

was the king, but she was the real mastermind behind his

actions. The spirit of Izebel, in which the woman dominates and

usurps the role of the man, is resurging at full force in our day.

Why? When we compare the other lists of these same jewels

throughout Scripture, we see them as bedecking YaHuWaH’s

Bride

(Rev. 21:19-20).

The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of

precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second,

sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; the fifth,

sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth,

beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh,

jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst

So this is the clothing of YaHuWaH’s bride. Yet who, other than

Adam and Hawah, was in Eden? None other than the serpent.

You were created: a phrase designed to put in his place the one

who wanted to be “like Aluahiym”.

(YashaYahuw 14:12-14)

How you have fallen from heaven, O Helel ben Shahar (the

shining one), Day Star, Son of the Dawn [Venus]! How you are

cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

The infamous pride of Nebuchadnezzar in Dan. 4 where - 7 times

passed over him in his fallen condition is a microcosm of the

Page 9: Immersion

pride--the downfall--of the former "anointed covering cherub" ….

7 thousand years.

14:13

You said in your heart, “I shall ascend into ha'shamayim! I shall

exalt my throne above the stars of Al [the Power]! I shall sit on the

Mount of Appointment, in the far north [hidden place]!

[In Scripture, a mountain is considered a controlling power or

authoritarian presence.] (Appointment: times appointed/set

times or feasts.)

14:14

I shall ascend above the heights of the clouds! I shall make

myself resemble the Most High! [Alyon]”

With

Exodus 28:17ff;

You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of

ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row; and the second row a

turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald; and the third row a

jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; and the fourth row a

chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in

their settings. The stones shall be according to the names of the

children of YSCHaREL, twelve, according to their names; like the

engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall

be for the twelve tribes. You shall make on the breastplate chains

like cords, of braided work of pure gold. You shall make on the

breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the

two ends of the breastplate. You shall put the two braided chains

of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. The other

Page 10: Immersion

two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two

settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its

forepart. You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put

them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is

toward the side of the ephod inward. You shall make two rings

of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the

ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the

skillfully woven band of the ephod. They shall bind the

breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of

blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod,

and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod.

Aharon shall bear the names of the children of YSCHaREL in the

breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the set

apart place, for a memorial before YaHuWaH continually. You

shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the

Thummim; and they shall be on Aharon’s heart, when he goes in

before YaHuWaH: and Aharon shall bear the judgment of the

children of YSCHaREL on his heart before YaHuWaH

continually.

along with

Revelation 21,

I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the

first earth disappeared, and the sea is no more! And I,

Yahuwchanan, saw the Set-apart city, new Yahrushalom, coming

down out of heaven from Aluahiym, made ready like a bride

adorned for her Husband. I heard a loud voice out of heaven

saying, “See, the Booth of YaHuWaH is with men, and He shall

dwell with them, [links with 7:15 And the One Who sits on the

throne shall dwell/tabernacle among them ] and they shall be His

people, and YaHuWaH Himself shall be with them as their

Aluahiym. He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. [this

links with 7:17 And YaHuWaH shall wipe away every tear from

their eyes.”] Death shall be no more; neither shall there be

mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have

Page 11: Immersion

passed away.” He Who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I AM

making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these Words are

trustworthy and true.”He said to me, “It is done! I AM the Aleph

and the Taw, the Beginning and the Completion.

YashaYahuw’s 65:17

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the

former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.But

be you glad and rejoice into the ages and beyond in that which I

create; for, behold, I create Yahrushalom a rejoicing, and her

people a joy.I shall rejoice in Yahrushalom, and joy in My people;

and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and

the voice of crying. ....

YashaYahuw’s 66:22

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I shall make,

shall remain before Me,” says YaHuWaH , “so your seed and your

name shall remain. It shall happen, that from one new moon to

another, and from one Shabbath to another, shall all flesh come

to worship before Me,” says YaHuWaH .

Revelation 21:7 ff

He who overcomes will inherit these things. I shall be his

Aluahiym, and he shall be a son for Me. But for the cowardly,

unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral,

sorcerers, [users of drugs] idolaters, and all liars, their part is in

the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second

death.” One of the seven Messengers who had the seven bowls,

Page 12: Immersion

the ones that were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and

he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I shall show you the

Lamb’s Kalah.” He carried me away in the Ruwach to a great and

high mountain, and showed me the Set-apart city, Yahrushalom,

coming down out of heaven from Aluahiym, having the Splendor

of YaHuWaH. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was

a jasper stone, clear as crystal; having a great and high wall;

having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve Messengers; and

names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes

of the children of YSCHaREL. On the east were three gates; and

on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on

the west three gates.The wall of the city had twelve foundations,

and on them twelve names of the twelve Emissaries of the Lamb.

He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to

measure the city, its gates, and its walls. The city lies foursquare,

and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city

with the reed, Twelve thousand stadia [1500 miles]. Its length,

breadth, and height are equal. (a 1500 mile cube!) Its wall is one

hundred forty-four cubits, [216 ft] by the measure of a man, that

is, of a Messenger.The construction of its wall was jasper. The city

was pure gold, like pure glass.The foundations of the city’s wall

were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first

foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third,

chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth,

sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth,

topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the

twelfth, amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one

of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure

gold, like transparent glass I saw no Dwelling Place in it, for

YaHuWaH Al Shaddai, and the Lamb, are its Dwelling Place. The

city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the

very Qabod of YaHuWaH illuminated it, and its Lamp is the

Lamb. And the gentiles, of those who are saved, shall walk in its

light. The kings of the earth bring the praise and the splendor of

the nations into it. Its gates shall in no way be shut by day (for

there shall be no night there), and they shall bring the praise and

the esteem of the gentiles into it. There shall in no way enter into

Page 13: Immersion

it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie,

but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

YashaYahuw 60:19-22

The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for

brightness shall the moon give light to you: but YaHuWaH shall

be to you an everlasting light, and your Aluhyim your

esteem.Your sun shall no more go down, neither shall your moon

withdraw itself; for YaHuWaH shall be your everlasting light, and

the days of your mourning shall be endedYour people also shall

be all righteous; they shall inherit the Land into the ages and

beyond, the branch of My planting, the work of My Hands, that I

may be esteemed. The little one shall become a thousand, and the

small one a strong nation; I, YaHuWaH, shall hasten it in its

time.”

we can see the common theme of the divesting and replacement

of rebellious Heylel with YSCHaREL through its Mashiyach, just

as Hadassah/Esther replaced the disobedient queen Vashti.) Like

Adam, the high priest stood as a representative of a whole people,

and thus restored his original position to the greatest extent

possible prior to the Messianic Kingdom.

YaHuWaH Aluahiym made coats of skins for Adam and for his

wife, and clothed/covered them. ) - (This implies that YaHuWaH

performed the very first slaughter in the presence of Adam and

Hawah, to typify the necessity to shed blood for the sin of

disobedience and to "cover" [labash - H-3847] ones nakedness.

Thus, when one is immersed into haMashiyach, that person's

nakedness (sin) is covered "labash" by the blood of the Lamb and

we put on - are covered by (labash) Mashiyach!)

To begin with, it must be understood that "immersion" is not

unique to the Apostolic Writings but was performed in the

TaNaK, and is identified in the traditional translations as

"washing". The priesthood washed their flesh with water

Page 14: Immersion

before, after, and during the means of making atonement, or

bringing about the removal for sin, and in the Ibriy language,

this is known as "mikbah" or immersion (washing). Everyone

entering into the Temple to worship was required to

mikbah/wash before entering, which meant that Priests as well

as the common man did mikbah many times in their lifetime.

This was also the command of the prophet, Alishua [Elisha], to

Na'aman the leper, when he commanded him to "mikbah" or

dip seven times and be cleansed. Again, as Yahuwchanan

prepared the way for YaHuWaH (YaHuWSHuWaH

haMashiyach), Yahuwchanan, as a rightful "officiator of

immersion" - (appointed by YaHuWah for a special task) -

commanded the crowds to "mikbah" or immerse for the

remission of sins, in accordance with the Torah commands

which deal with this. There were a great many "mikbah" pools

in YSCHaREL and especially in Yahrushalom and were used

frequently by those who felt the need to be immersed other

than entering into the temple. However, the Scriptures make

plain that Yahuwchanan the Immerser used the Yarden River

as his "immersion" pool as did Na'aman the leper. The Yarden

in many places had pools sufficient enough to handle the many

who came to be immersed .... and of course the water was

running which was ideal in that this running water symbolized

"the washing away of sin and perversity". From

"The Scriptures for the Whole House of YSCHaREL",

We have this:

Matt. 3:5-6

Then people from Yahrushalom, all of Yahuwdah, and the

entire region around the Yarden went out to him. They were

ritually immersed under his supervision in the Yarden,

acknowledging their sins.

[The Shem Tob Hebrew text says, “They were immersing

because of his word”]Under his supervision: immersion at

Page 15: Immersion

that time was not something done by another person; that

was a practice of Mithraism, a religion common among

Roman soldiers. A kosher immersion is done by the person

himself, with a witness to assure him that every part of his

body, including all of his hair, has gone under the water.

"Then people from Yahrushalom, all of Yahuwdah , and all

the region around the Yarden went out to him. They were

ritually immersed under his supervision in the Yarden,

acknowledging their sins." [The Shem Tob Ibriy text says,

“They were immersing because of his word”]

"Under his supervision: Immersion at that time was not

something done by another person; that was a practice of

Mithraism, a religion common among Roman soldiers. A kosher

immersion is done by the person himself, with a witness to assure

him that every part of his body, including all of his hair, has gone

under the water."

Scripture never teaches that a mikbah or immersion must be

performed by someone else - rather, the crowds immersed

themselves. In fact, we have the Scriptural evidence that the

apostles COMMANDED the crowd to be immersed, and some

3000 were saved in one day, as seen in the following example.

Acts 2:38

"Shimon said to them, 'Repent and be immersed each one of you

in the name of Master YaHuWaH-YaHuWSHuWaH for the

remission of sins ....'

Shimon was preaching from the steps of the Hekal in

Yahrushalom. Just below him were hundreds of mikbah

(immersion) baths. Both the steps he spoke from and the baths

are visible today just outside the Western Wall. In Kepha's day

immersion wasn't an act of conversion from one religion to

another, but an act of purification from sin. A person repented of

their sin, prayed, and then entered into the water of the

Page 16: Immersion

immersion pool to symbolize atonement. [AENT - Aramaic English

New Testament pg. 308]

Yahuwchanan is recorded as being the "officiator" in the

immersion of YaHuWSHuWaH haMashiyach, and Philip also was

the "officiator" in the immersion of the Ethiopian man (Not

physically touching them but being witnesses to their complete

immersion.) Yahuwchanan the Immerser according to the Word,

chose places where there "was much water" for his immersion

sites. If he "immersed" them one by one as some seem to believe

(see baptism note below) .... why then was "much water" needed?

They simply responded to Yahuwchanan's preaching, confessed

their sins, prayed, entered into the water and immersed

themselves under the watchful eye of the Immersion Officiator.

Scripture never limits the number of times which a person may

immerse. In fact, it was a Scriptural command that every time

you become physically unclean (i.e. in contact with a dead

body, etc) that you were to "wash", and again be considered

clean at evening. Mikbah was also preformed for physical

healing, as we see with the blind man at the pool (mikbah) of

Shalach, in Yahrushalom.

1. Yahuwchanan 9:6

When He had said this, He spat on the ground, made clay with

the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the clay, (both of

these acts were forbidden in the Babylonian Talmud - oral

traditions) and said to him, “Go, wash/mikvah (immerse) in the

pool of Shalach” (which means “Sent forth”). So he went away,

washed, and came back seeing.

Immersion for the remission of sins should be in the Name

above all Names, which is "YaHuWaH-YaHuWSHuWaH", and

Page 17: Immersion

performed for the remission of sins. "In the Name of..." requires

that it be in YaHuWaH's authority, and that the purpose for the

immersion be well known and proclaimed. Apart from complete

immersion (preferably in running water, such as a river or stream

- but not commanded as such - could be a bathtub if one can

completely immerse in it - and, if that is all that is available) in

the Name of YaHuWaH-YaHuWSHuWaH haMashiyach, there are

no other Scriptural requirements or commands.

You can immerse yourself - as did those of YSCHaREL - but it

would be better to find another believer to attend. Self-immersion

is the only way that many of the YSCHaREL of today can be

immersed. YaHuWaH is calling to Himself "one of a city and two

of a clan", and these newly called ones may never have the

opportunity to be a part of a congregation - large or small! Self-

immersion was done by those of YSCHaREL of the past whenever

the need arose for an immersion and was acceptable then as it is

now. No particular titled person is required to be present and

anyone can assist others with their immersion. We are all to

assist others in their immersion, as a witness, an encouragement,

and to welcome the immersed into the community of YSCHaREL

as a brother - should you be blessed with a "community" of like-

minded believers. The act of immersion into the name of

YaHuWaH-YaHuWSHuWaH's is personal, not corporate, and we

become identified by our Husband, calling upon His Name for

deliverance. We need to be the one saying the words, not a by-

stander (like a pastor proclaiming "I immerse you. . . ") It's only

about YaHuWaH-YaHuWSHuWaH and the one entering the

water.

A special note about the history of the present day method of

"baptism": In

Debarim (Deut.) 2:12

Page 18: Immersion

The Chorites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esaw

succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and

lived in their place; as YSCHaREL did to the land of his

possession, which YaHuWaH gave to them.)

it is said that the Chorites who lived in Seir were destroyed by

Esaw. Chorites literally means "cave dwellers". Esaw (Edom of

today) represents Rome and their adaptation of Constantine's

Mithraism which was the religion of the Roman soldiers and

Constantine, himself, and which can be traced all the way back to

the time of Nimrod. One of its hallmarks of Mithraism is that they

most always worshiped in caves. They had an elohiym named

"Gad" pronounced exactly like "god" with a major festival on

December 24, 25, and January 1. They also had a water baptism

in which the priest holds the recipient as he goes underwater.

This common form of baptism as practiced by many of

"churchanity" today, stems from them and this practice - not

from the Hebrew form of immersion in which there is merely a

witness that one goes completely under water. So the Church

(Esaw/Edom) still inhabits the “caves” of Mithraism by practicing

these particular means of "baptism". YaHuWaH says to us -

In His Name

blessed be, in His name

'YHWH be with you.' and they answered him, 'YHWH bless

you.' "

Be not blind to the truth

And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they

heard that YaHuWSHuWaH passed by, cried out, saying, Have

mercy on us, O YaHuWaH, [thou] Ben David. And

YaHuWSHuWaH stood still, and called them, and said, What will

him.

dispenser. He who preaches to get a living, or make a fortune, is

guilty of the most infamous sacrilege

The Everlasting Covenant is The Sabbath

ALuaHiYM YaHuWShuWaH HaMashiyach be with your Ruakh
